I went out later, and realized that the beautiful lilies, about to blossom, had been nipped in the bud.
Lots of swallowtails, and I think I saw a monarch, too. Fingers crossed.
I've been watching the birds, too. This was a mother/daughter thing, I think! I could only grab a photo of the feed once, and a bad photo at that.
Down in the forest, this little one doing a selfie!

I really enjoyed this post with all the activity around you. Loss of the lilies seems a small price to pay although it would have definitely made me sad all the same.
I am not bothering with our tiny bit of lawn that remains.
I enjoyed my tea out on the back porch early this morning. The scent of the milkweed is heady. Attracting several butterflies and hummingbirds. Swallowtails, Admirals and MONARCHS!
Pretty deer, butterfly and I love the woodpeckers! Great photos.
Enjoy your day!
The deer are quite beautiful.
Such a shame about the lily, hope she had indigestion!!! The lawn will grow again, meantime less to mow.
I think everyone's lawns are brown!
Deer think they're God's gift to the pruning technology.
Love this time of year!
Jenn - it never fails that the deer chomp on the things we value most. My goal is to have so much that I won't miss one or two. I have noticed a dramatic increase in chirping in our trees; it is definitely the young 'uns begging for food! Enjoy the rest of your week!
Loved the fawn selfie with it's large, alert, swivelly ears.
